    Hovering outside a conversation waiting to talk to someone to avoid interrupting; worried I seem creepy?

    Hovering outside a conversation waiting to talk to someone to avoid interrupting; worried I seem creepy?

    So if someone I want to talk to is engaged in a convo, I will stand there trying not to stare at the participants, while waiting for the conversation to end so I can chat with the person without interrupting.

    Sent into hysterical laughter by certain sounds and sights (languages, etc); anyone else have this?

    It is neither nervous laughter or pseudobulbar. It doesn't happen randomly, along with cryin, like in pseudobulbar, and it doesn't happen when I'm nervous. As I said, it happens whenever certain sounds occur and it's like it tweaks my ears and my brain and sends me into laughter.

    The Stigma of Self-Diagnosis

    I would still recommend anyone that does not have an official diagnosis to get one, even if it means working for a year and saving all your paychecks. Why do I say this? because then you have an OFFICIAL verification of your disability, that, should you ever need to, you can show to employers or...

    The Stigma of Self-Diagnosis

    I'm not even officially diagnosed yet, but self diagnosed instead and what you said above is the reason that I am not really TELLING anyone yet. Because I have another learning disability I've known about for years, and already have had a few people in my life over the years tell me that it's...
